Fullscreen display with big customizable icons. User should be able to add new icons.

A BT dialer able to dial with just one tap over a photo. The only one I found able to run on a WM5_non_phone_edition is Contact-ing. It is nice but still required to many actions to dial a number.

A GPS Navigator able to minimize and run properly in VGAout mode. The only one I found is Navigon. iGo can minimize but does not behaves well in VGAout. Route66 behaves well in VGAout but cannot minimize. TomTom does not work properly in VGAout and cannot minimize, etc.

An audio player with nice skins to work in landscape mode. I like PocketMusic but I have not been able to put it to work with a Winamp landscape skin. I am using MortPlayer with qPod VGA skin.

About video player I like TCPMP but it would be nice if it could be skinable.
